A little recap: Earlier this week, in a YouTube video titled "My assistant was assaulted...," Jake, Meg, Erika Costell, and Anthony Trujillo accused Banks of clotheslining Meg, putting her in a headlock, and dragging her into his party space when she walked by him, leaving her with a nasty bruise. On top of that, they accused Banks of making out with a girl other than his girlfriend (and Jake's kind-of ex) Alissa Violet. Banks immediately shot back in his own video denying the allegations and providing screenshots and testimonials from people who were there that show Team 10 may not be being 100% truthful with their account of the night.

Now, in a video titled "PROOF I'M INNOCENT," FaZe Banks interviews a member of Team 10 who was at Warwick when everything went down. His name is Max Beaumont, and he's actually a FORMER member of Team 10 because he left the team so he could come forward and reveal his side of the story.

In Banks' interview with Max, the former Team 10-er flat out says he never saw Banks kissing any girls and that he didn't see Banks assault anyone or behave aggressively that night. Actually, his experience with Banks that night was the opposite.

He confirms that he did go over to Banks' table, but that he wasn't there to cause trouble. He claims he went over to express that despite all the drama between Team 10 and the FaZe crew, he actually respected Banks and his YouTube channel a lot. Max says he was also really surprised by Banks' response, which was to hug him and thank him profusely for the compliment.

Max goes on to say that when he went back to hang with Meg, she told him that she'd been clotheslined by Banks but that she made it very clear that it was an accident. He also said that Meg showed him a bruise on her neck that night, a detail Banks says proves he didn't give her the bruise since it's impossible for someone to develop a nasty bruise in the span of a few minutes. Max suggests the encounter didn't seem like a big deal that night and that he had forgotten about it until he saw Team 10's video accusing Banks of assault.

Max leaving Team 10 to come forward about this is no small thing considering he's been friends with Meg Zelly for over seven years, but he felt he had to speak out considering the weight of the allegations against Banks.

In the end, he says he doesn't believe Banks intentionally assaulted Meg. "I believe that, if anything, you accidentally bumped into her. I can't explain the bruise and she's my best friend for seven years so it's so hard for me to say this. But the way I saw you that night, I don't see how it's a possibility that you went from this nice guy who came over and gave me a hug someone who started swinging at her afterward." He also flat-out says he doesn't think Banks kissed any girls since he remembered him being excited for Alissa to arrive.

It's important to note that after speaking with Max, Banks no longer believes Max was the one that spiked his drink that night (if his drink was spiked at all).

In the end, Banks revealed that although he can't get access to the security footage from Warwick to show his followers until he gets a subpoena, the club security allegedly reviewed the tapes and informed Banks that there's no indication on the tapes that he assaulted Meg or kissed any girls.

It's unclear if Banks ever met with Jake in person to discuss the allegations in person. Jake uploaded a video expressing hopes that they could move past this situation last night.

But it doesn't look like that's going to happen because Banks ended his video by saying he will be suing Team 10 for defamation in what he believes was an attempt to ruin his career. He's taking this extreme action not only for himself, but for any other YouTubers Team 10 may try to target in the future.
